^^^ Interestingyou say this. I was just reading an interesting article onhow most people who suffer injuries form cycling resulted from careless riding.

Australia is a good example.
About 80% of the known cyclists wear helmets.
About 80% of the people who die each year from cycling were wearing helmets.
Helmets in that obvious statistic proves that helmets did nothing to decrease the number of cycling deaths. As has most statistics. Most statistics they are now finding are actually skewed to promote helmet use, instead of actually giving the facts. Of the thousands of cases, you'll always find a few to rpove helmets are what saved the individuals lives. but, on an overall, I honestly don't think they have made the impact on saving lives as people think they have. I think people are so full of fear nowadays, they'll believe anything.

All this aside. I still enjoy the ocassional ride without my helmet.

P.S. I still wear one. (most of the time)
